It is very amazing and great! I liked how the classes are very small and you are able to get close to your professors. I also liked how small the campus is because you are able to know where everything is at. The staff is very helpful and nice as well. The volleyball program is very great as well. I am very excited how this season is going to be!
My overall opinion of Centenary College of Louisiana is that I love it!! Centenary is amazing, not just for it's academics, but also for sports and Greek life. All my professors are awesome and they're always willing to help me. I love this school and everything it has to offer.
Centenary is a great school and I would recommend it others but I will also list the faults of the school so that they know they are making the right choice. I feel at home at Centenary and I did the first time I stepped onto the campus.
I'm about to be a freshman but I feel as if that Centenary is my home. It is where I have made friends, made new memories and conversed with numerous people. The atmosphere and attitude revolving around campus is positive and motivational. The campus itself is beautiful, homey, and diverse. The cafeteria is divine. The extracurricular activities, sports, and Greek life are all warm and welcoming. Overall, I have found my home and am so excited to be attending in the Fall.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Centenary College of Louisiana is 64%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
The best advice I can give to students is to choose a school that is feels right. You can tell right away if you'll like a place when you visit. Also, I highly advise a small, liberal arts school because you can search for your major and socialize well. Most of all, DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE YOUR FRIENDS. Make new ones and appreciate them for different reasons than you did your ones back home. Study hard, play hard, and you will come out on top.
Amazingly accepting, tolerant and open to different cultures, experiences and people. Its almost scary at how people did not act like how you would expect on a campus like Centenary, a rather elite private school with less than 1,000 students in Conservative, Northern Louisiana. Wow! Faculty just needs to be more diverse! Everyone thought that more diversity within the student body and faculty, alike was needed!
I don't know if i could name something I would consider to be the worst. For me, one of the hardest things was living at home and growing up in the city where Centenary is located. Living off campus, you tend to miss a lot of the activities that are going on nightly. And having always lived in the same city, things become a little mundane.
Those people who are looking for a conservatory in the visual or performing arts. It is a college that looks for and builds well-rounded students. Also, this college is not for the city type.
For me, the best thing was being immersed in an intense academic atmosphere. I don't have that same environment now in my graduate program, and I sure miss it! Just as a piece of advice, really listen to what your professors are saying, they know their stuff!
I think whats unique about our school would be that we have a Golf, Fencing, and Gymnastics team. All schools don't have those programs.
Centenary is a home away from home for me, because the people hear are like family and we treat each other as such.
I'm not really sure, but I can tell you one thing- homophobes should stay far away! You don't have to be ultra-liberal by any means, but there are a lot of gay students, so if you're not comfortable with that, I'd advise you strongly against coming.
The professors at Centenary are absolutely amazing.

Great pre-med and pre-law , Centenary College Choir, "hottest liberal arts college you've never heard of" (College Guide '08 - Newsweek MSNBC)
I wish i would have known how academically challenging this school is. It has been a challenge for me.
Somewhat, yes.
Professors are great at Centenary. They're really involved in the extra-curricular's on campus. Centenary students end up with critical minds, always thinking in modern, philosophical ideas. They aren't overly competitive, but the students do have a chance to take their interests a long way. Students have a lot of resources to drive their interest (going on academic trips, undertaking particular research, etc.) The liberal arts education offered at Centenary is well-rounded and sufficiently difficult. It can produce a great thinker.
There are four fraternities and two sororities. There are a countless number of student organizations, especially media. There's a literary arts magazine, radio station, yearbook, weekly newspaper, french newspaper, film society, and a lot more. For a small campus there are plenty of organizations to join. It's also relatively easy to start an organization if you can't find what want.
The athletes destroy everything that's good on campus. The choir is a cult. RA's are out to get you. Half the men on campus are gay or in the closet.
Centenary is really small and really expensive. It also has some disturbing racist tones in the administration. For instance, there are no African American faculty members.
